the difference between a 4k fire tv and an apple tv is like having a 10-yr-old saab versus a lexus

the number of times i've had to force close/restart a fire tv is…well, more than i can count. netflix has been broken on it for as long as amazon's had streaming devices (they seemingly don't want it to work well). the number of ads on the fire homepage is obscene. the slowness/lag for the menu ui is a huge drag.

none of these problems have showed up for me on the apple tv.

i would not recommend it to those who can't really afford it, but if you have the disposable income, it really does make your streaming tv watching life easier…

…which i realize is the most obscene and privileged sentence i've ever written

If you are into the Apple ecosystem it is the most seamless out there. This comes with a premium for sure which you can argue isn't worth it.

However, for people that have the means and want an effortless entire system for their grandparents, parents, and non tech savvy spouses, you can't beat it. Everything just works.

I have yet to see anything across all android devices that comes close.

Personally, I have a 2017 nvidia shield, but I would get this Apple TV for anyone else in my life without question since it will make my life easier when they have any tech issue.

I think the only reason you can use to defend the price is the simplicity caused be being a perfect fit in the ecosystem.

I used to have iPhones for my wife and I, fire sticks on the TVs and fire tablets for the kids. The wife could never figure out how to work the kids tablets on road trips and it was challenging using the fire stick (yes, I realize they are pretty easy to use). Replaced them all with iPads and Apple TV's and don't hear one gripe from the wife about how she can't "fix" any of them. Worth every penny!!

I truly don't understand the price of Apple TVs. This isn't hate at all. I'll accept the thumbs down that are coming, but given all the products that are out there, I just don't get it. I'm willing to listen to reasons why too.
What is out there? Android TV is still garbage and lacks a lot of apps. Roku is probably the only other alternative. The reason I like it is because of its simplicity but mostly eco system integration. Most of all Apple offers the best privacy unlike the rest. Mind you I used Android products for a decade.

Right now it's the only one that can use the Spectrum cable app.

It's strange that a company so hellbent on simplicity offers two models of ATV with such a small ($20) price difference. Just make one size and charge one price. From what I've read, the 64GB upgrade only costs Apple $0.40.

Seems on par, price wise, with the Nvidia shield.

Besides what has already been discussed.... brand loyalty, ecosystem, etc...

Apple is one of the last few manufacturers that produce a high-quality durable product for a premium price. (Whether that premium price is worth it, is up to the individual)

They are what Sony "USED" to be...
Nowadays, Sony still command a premium price for TVs but it bested by the like of TCL & HiSense.

I wish Apple made TVs. I would definitely buy one. I would be willing to pay an extra $300~$500 bucks for a non-disposable TV. My last 65" Sony lasted 2 years!!

I've yet to find anything that can do screen sharing (tried roku/chromecast/google tv/etc.) as seamlessly it's also been rock solid for me across 3 generations.

I also have a x900h running google/android tv (no idea what it's called now) and even that is flaky when using airplay and while it was super fast and smooth a year ago it's progressively gotten worse (such is the lifespan of a tv SoC today I suppose.)

As a fellow Apple cult member, I think you're confusing the FireTV 4K with another model because mine has locked up the same number of times as my Apple TV. Older FireTV units lock up more often because of Amazon is stingy with RAM.
